[tackhead311]

I'd be platinum three times over by now... but every time something happens when I'm like 20 songs away.

First time, the power went out.

Second time, The internet died.

Third, it was the power again.

I live on an air force base at the moment. I don't know how many military people we have here, but if you've ever had the 'pleasure' of living in the glorified dorm rooms that are base housing, you would know that randomly, every now and again, the power just goes away.

Well, at least here in Florida that's true. I've lived on two bases here and with both it still holds.

Darn you power! -shakes fist- I want that platinum icon so bad. I don't have the time to actually sit down and do it in one sitting, so I have to pause it every now and then, get back to being domestic or taking care of my kids, then come back after they are sleeping or something.

One day I'll find a babysitter who can handle my children, and I will sit there and play it all out. D:

back in Rb 1 days my roomies son and i did it on hard. we weren't that good and got stuck on enter sandman. we didn't realize how long it would take started on a Friday nite and the 75 enter sandman attempts took till 130 am. then we heard a knocking at the door it was the PO-9 telling us to keep it down lol!! so we left the game on woke up got our gold symbols. my endless setlist 2 attempt will be probably told by one of my band mates lol but stewys ooh fuck as we all got booted was pretty epic!

[dcnjack]

ZOMG That's hysterical!! xD

tackhead, bigfish, stewy, and myself tried it a month or two ago. We were going for the bladder trophy and were doing pretty good up until song 50 or 60 something. I won't name any names but somebody (cough cough tackhead) failed out. Tack, bigfish, and I didnt have platinum at the time, so we decided we'd keep playing after taking a break. Suddenly everyone but me gets booted off of psn. For whatever reason it was glitching and randomly booting people offline. So we basically wasted four or five hours of our lives.

I just have one word of advice, do not attempt online. I don't know of anyone who has actually made it thru enitre setlist online as of yet.

[bigfish]

I posted the horror story in a new thread. I know doing an ESL online is a risk, but i still enjoyed it. Funny thing is i know we have played as a band at least 4-5 hours straight without issues. We used to pick 10 songs each and play them all in one sitting. I guess you just gotta get lucky. I will continue to make myself available to anyone wanting to run an on-line ESL2 attempt. Now i just need my bass and guitar and drum(yeah right) platinum.

[funkdiggity]

Yeah that's what I can't figure either. Back in the day me, stewy, tack, and skidog used to do some pretty epic jams. I think at one point we were playing like 50 or 60 song sets. I don't know why those went fine, and esl's always go wrong lol. Black cherry offered to do another esl with me to make up for tonight but I don't know if im up to trying another one with an online band again. It seems to be asking for trouble.

[bigfish]

i think timing is key. Both times we got booted was a sunday night i think. Maybe a weekday during work hours. less server traffic might be better.

I will always try, at least we know if only one drops we can continue.

[tackhead311]

[dcnjack]

[tackhead311]
